Overview

About

Maintained by Erick Rosas LopezFirst published 2026-07-291 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implements the optimal multiple hypothesis testing correction from Viviano, Wuthrich, and Niehaus (2026) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2104.13367. Derives the optimal per-test significance level from the economic incentives of research production, providing a correction that lies between Bonferroni (too conservative) and unadjusted (too permissive). Supports two cost models: a Linear one calibrated to United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clinical-trial costs, and a Cobb-Douglas one calibrated to Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) project costs. Reports optimal, Bonferroni, Holm, Benjamini-Hochberg (BH), and unadjusted results side by side.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-mhtopt

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-mhtopt

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-mhtopt

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
